Intel's delay is costing AEP Ohio, but company says price hikes are unrelated
NEW ALBANY, Ohio (WCMH) — After Intel delayed construction into 2031, AEP Ohio was left with a nearly complete power station and nothing to power. In September 2024, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved an authorized rate agreement between Intel and AEP Ohio. Now, the companies are hoping PUCO will approve an amended agreement, as Intel's delay postpones when AEP Ohio can start benefiting from its investment. Intel and AEP Ohio filed for an updated agreement on June 5, just four days after AEP Ohio announced a rate increase for customers. Despite the timing, an AEP Ohio spokesperson told NBC4 the rate increase was unrelated to its agreement with the semiconductor giant. Intel to lay off up to 20% of division responsible for Ohio plant 'Those are pass-through charges from generation suppliers to AEP Ohio customers, largely driven by power supply and demand across the 13-state power grid that includes Ohio, and AEP Ohio makes no money on them,' an AEP Ohio spokesperson told NBC4. Once Intel is up and running, it will have its power costs offset by Ohioans, who will pay small added fees through the distribution investment rider. This added fee is not unique to Intel; as of June, AEP customers already pay between $2-$3 each bill through unrelated DIR fees. 'The costs associated with AEP Ohio investments to be used in serving Intel will not be reflected in rates until after Intel begins taking permanent power at the fabrication facilities,' AEP Ohio said via a spokesperson. The original agreement said AEP Ohio would cover the costs of a 500 megawatt power substation, dubbed Green Chapel Station, to deliver Intel's vast power demand. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that is enough MW to power as many as 500,000 homes. AEP Ohio would be able to bill other Green Chapel Station users, and Intel would pay an undisclosed cheaper rate for 20 years. Sweeping property tax reform may save Ohioans $850 The station will be ready for service in August, and the new PUCO filing said AEP Ohio is about $10.4 million under the $95.1 million budget. According to the filing, AEP Ohio built the Green Chapel Station to align with Intel's original plan and needs. 'Due to Intel's two-year delay, even though the Green Chapel Station will be ready to use in accordance with the original timeline, Intel is not prepared to take service, preventing AEP Ohio from placing the Green Chapel equipment in service and incorporating it into the DIR,' the filing said. The new agreement asks for continued construction cost coverage for AEP Ohio to offset the delay. Intel has also agreed to cover any costs associated with the continued construction allowance that would push the total project cost beyond the original budget. Intel referred NBC4 to the state filing in lieu of a statement. The PUCO filing now awaits approval or other action from the state. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Calls for support as Latrobe Valley power workers continue to die from asbestos exposure
Like many men of his generation, Mick Tomkins does not like to make a fuss. The 73-year-old enjoys meeting up with a group of mates to swim at the nearby Traralgon pool most mornings, before a coffee and a chat about the footy. But, like many men of his generation, Mr Tomkins is also living with the insidious legacy of being a power station worker in the 1970s, after being diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma last year. "It was a bit of a shock," he said. Mr Tomkins was just 20 years old when he first took on a role as a subcontractor, helping build the new W station at Yallourn. For the young sheet metal worker, it was the prospect of high-paying work that would support his family. "That construction was an area I really didn't want to go into, but I had a wife and a couple of kids, so I had to get work and they paid very well out there," he said. The power industry was booming, with Mr Tomkins joining around 1,000 other contractors onsite at the time. What workers did not realise was that their job exposed them to asbestos on a daily basis. "The laggers would go in and put the insulation on the pipes, and we would come in and coat them with sheet metal," he said. "Most of that insulation was fibreglass, but then we had sectional asbestos over the pipes. It would not be until 50 years later that Mr Tomkins and his family would discover the damage caused by this exposure. In 2003, after a series of court cases, asbestos was banned in Australia. More than a decade ago, Mr Tomkins and his family started to monitor his condition by getting regular lung compression testing. Then, about three years ago, Mr Tomkins said he started to develop a cough that would not go away. He would soon not be able to walk to the front gate. A CT scan and a biopsy would later confirm Mr Tomkins had mesothelioma. For the stoic father and grandfather, the news, while devastating, was not unexpected. "I didn't panic. In some ways, in the end, I'd sort of half expected it because of the cough," he said. For Pauline Tomkins, Mr Tomkins' wife of 54 years, and their family, it was confirmation of the worst kind. "We just all went quiet, and I just kept looking at the floor," she said. "It was always in the back of my mind, but the trouble is when it is said to you." A 2009 study by Monash University found that former power workers in the Latrobe Valley were contracting mesothelioma at a rate seven times the national average. The proliferation of asbestos among Latrobe Valley workers prompted an apology from the then Victorian premier John Brumby at a regional sitting of the 56th parliament at Monash University's Gippsland Campus on October 15, 2008. "On behalf of the Victorian government and the community, I want to say sorry and to express our regret for the pain and the suffering felt by some former power industry workers and their families where that was caused by asbestos exposure at the former SECV … It is unacceptable that any person, through the course of their work, is exposed to what we now know is a deadly substance," Mr Brumby said. For Vicki Hamilton, the CEO and secretary of the Asbestos Council of Victoria (better known as GARDS), the ongoing legacy of illness for the Latrobe Valley hits close to home. Ms Hamilton lost both her father and grandfather to asbestos-related disease, and said despite the high profile nature of asbestos cases, many people mistakenly believed the challenges were behind them. "I get a couple of calls a month at least from people who know that they're sick and they are going to see a doctor," she said. Ms Hamilton said 140,000 workers were exposed to asbestos between the 1920s and the 1980s. "That affected a whole community, and every person, every second or third person in the Latrobe Valley knows somebody who has an asbestos-related disease," she said. The Asbestos Council formed part of a state government task force established in 2019 to review how asbestos was managed in the Latrobe Valley. In 2022, the task force made 21 recommendations to minimise the risk and harms of asbestos exposure. The recommendations included establishing a statewide centre to manage all asbestos queries, developing targeted awareness campaigns, and mandating training for the handling and removal of asbestos. However, no recommendations had been implemented when the work of the task force culminated in March 2023. Ms Hamilton said more needed to be done as workers continued to come forward with diagnoses. "I'm very lucky, the state government just helped to fund me for part of my money because, without that, we would have been looking at closing within 12 months because that's about the only money we have left." A Victorian government spokesperson said the government was working to prevent or minimise risks associated with asbestos. "Actions underway to address the harmful legacy of asbestos and prevent asbestos-related diseases in Victoria include raising awareness of asbestos risks, prioritising and coordinating the removal of asbestos from Victorian government buildings, establishing convenient disposal points and strengthening compliance and enforcement," the spokesperson said. With legal help, Mr Tomkins was able to make a claim for compensation against his former employer's insurance company. Now, he and his family are taking each day as it comes. Mr Tomkins is balancing his life with treatment, and so far has found success with immunotherapy to keep his cancer under control. "We just take each day now as we go and just do what the doctors say," Mr Tomkins said. "I don't look like I'm dying, do I? "I've had a life, but you know I'd like to still have a longer life actually."
